| Abstract [eng] |
In the current political, economic, cultural, education and training, and other discourses, the consequences of the processes of postmodernism and globalization are becoming increasingly pronounced. To quote J. F. Lyotard, the foundation of postmodernism is the diversity of thinking and its presentation by language, therefore, one has to learn to live by recognizing the said diversity. The vision of postmodernism includes multiplicity, the recognition and promotion of diversity, and the dialogue of differences. The notions of network society, global society, citizen of the world, intercultural education, and cultural integration have been used increasingly frequently. When one lives in a multicultural society, with one of its characteristics being a diversity of cultures, it is necessary to promote cultural exchange and collaboration: to get interested in one‘s own and other cultures and to together create a cohesive and democratic society based on intercultural relations and intercultural dialogue between representatives of different cultures or religions or individuals of a different social or economic status. |
